See Getting started page A-4 for details.Make sure that the Grid is enabled. It will show you where the part origin is. See Getting started page A-6 for further information.Select the Solids manager to the left of the screen. If it is hidden press Alt + O to display it.Note that during the geometry creation to start a command we will select the icons from the toolbar,instead of using the menu.Page 9-3 Design TUTORIAL 9STEP 1: CREATE THE CIRCLES WITH DIAMETERS 8.0, 6.0, AND 4.0, WHICH SHARETHE CENTER POINT THE ORIGINStep Preview:From the Sketcher toolbar, select Create Circle Center PointiconEnter the Diameter value 8.0 (Enter)[Enter the center point]: Select the Origin (the center of thegrid) as shown.Select the OriginSelect Fit icon to fit the drawing to the screen.Select the Apply button to continue using the same command.Enter the Diameter value 6.0 (Enter)[Enter the center point]: Select the Origin (the center of the grid) as shown before.Select the Apply button to continue using the same command.Enter the Diameter value 4.0 (Enter)[Enter the center point]: Select the Origin as shown above.Select the Apply button to continue using the same command.Select the OK button to exit the command. . asshown.
